The District Annual is to be held at Londesboro on Monday, May 27. Mrs. Mary Hunter, District Pre­ sident, gave a splendid message about the Women’s Institutes. So many have had to disband their Institutes on account of too few members. She read two readings, '“Fantasy Island” and “No Occu­ pation”. She stated that she hoped Auburn could keep their W.I. going and hope for more members. She read a poem, “Something to Think About”. People don’t really know how important the Women’s Insti­ tutes are and the work that is done, giving donations and working with the 4H groups and one learns a lot from these meetings, so why not come out and join? Ruth Jardin received a gift for having lettuce seed planted in her garden and she stated it was up. Reports of all the standing committees were given and every­ one agreed to stay on for 1991-92. Marjorie McDougall thanked Evelyn for hosting the meeting. Bread, cheese, and juice were served after Martha Daer adjourn­ ed the meeting and a social time enjoyed.
